Holy crap

Happy that the storm track kind of split around us. 5AM tornado sirens make for a long day, though.

Those pictures are pretty scary. Those buildings have the same shape as the museum proper. But I'm pretty sure those are older maintenance buildings. I haven't seen anything showing damage to the actual Museum or their actual displays. Fingers crossed.

I understand it was a restoration hanger that was hit the hardest

Been to WPAFB many times but never had the chance to visit the museum.
Hope everyone is ok and no serious damage.
